Yeah. Me too. Universal Serial Bus...Universal my *ss. There are so many connection types it is stupid. There is nothing Universal" about it. Having worked at the Apple Genius bar I know the actual prices of in store apple products and their markups. A cable that costs $30 has an original cost of about $4-5. Their markup is UNBELIEVABLE. Now that I am an independent contractor I get my stuff off of eBay, Amazon, or order from Japan/overseas directly. You would be surprised how cheap cables are over there and how fast they get here. -- Kyle H.
